With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists indetails of construction and in the arrangement and combination of partsto be hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed.

In describing the invention in detail, reference Will be had to theaccompanying drawing forming'part of the specification, wherein likecharacters denote corresponding parts in the several views, and in whichFigure 1 is a view in-elevation of a fragment of a container with adispensing device, embodying the invention applied thereto. I Fig, 2 isa vertical sectional view on the line 2-2 of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a view inelevation of the dispensing device at a position at right angles to theview of the dispensing device shown in Fig. 1;

In thesedrawings, 5 denotes a fragment of a bottle having a threadedneck 6, to which the dispensing device is applied. The dispensing devicehas a spout or chute 7 formed integral with an annular flange 8, 55which flange is internally threaded to enti tisi e ite t f to fan forjeet ir'aga rougit il f opening of the discharge end of the said dis-Huse he-nan 9" the flange;

the ten en -of the spri'iig thestable-er the Spring on the release ofthe lever 17 bcing such as to return the lever shaft to their normalpositions. The shaft 14 has a disk valve 23 mounted on it and secured toit by the fastening device 24, which fastening device may be in the formof a pin or screw, the said valve serving to guard the passage betweenthe container and the spout when the device is applied to the saidcontainer. A lever 17 has a bifurcation 25 at its end in which the endof the link 26 is placed, the said link having a slot 27, designed toreceive a pin 28 extending transversely of the bifurcated portion of thesaid lever, so that the said pin being carried by the lever, travels inthe slot 27 until the end of the slot is reached, when further movementof the lever communicates motion to the link. The end of the link remotefrom the lever, is pivoted to a lug 28 formed on the cover 29, whichengages the end of the spout and serves to close the same. The lug 28 isarranged between the ears 30, formed integral with the spout, and ismounted on said tegraluwit-h :t-he
